The Guns N More Store on Sam Ridley Parkway was hit early Wednesday morning by burglars. Approximately 24 firearms were reported stolen, but the ATF and the Smyrna Police are still investigating exactly how many were taken.

The ATF is funding $3,500 for the reward to be matched by the NSSF.

The thieves reportedly entered the business through a window around 3 a.m. Wednesday. A burglar alarm alerted police to the break-in, but the suspects had fled the scene before they arrived. Police report that surveillance video appears to show three individuals, possibly two male and one female.

“This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF and ATF in which NSSF matches ATF’s reward in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers,” according to a release. “ATF works closely with members of the firearm industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.”

Anyone with information about this crime should contact the ATF at (800) ATF-GUNS (1-800-283-4867) or the Smyrna Police Department at (615) 267-2547. Information can also be sent to ATF via the mobile app www.reportit.com by using the ATF Nashville Field Division as the location
